    摘要: An image capturing apparatus includes: an image capturing unit configured to control an imaging sensor; a first obtaining unit configured to obtain a first detection result that is a result of detection of a subject from image data captured by the image capturing unit; a second obtaining unit configured to transmit the image data to an external image processing apparatus and obtain a second detection result that is a result of detection of a subject from the image data by the image processing apparatus; and a control unit configured to perform shooting processing using settings of shooting parameters determined based on at least one of the first detection result and the second detection result, wherein the control unit is configured to perform shooting processing using settings of the shooting parameters determined based on the first detection result until the second detection result is obtained from the image processing apparatus.

    摘要: An optical sensor, for sensing a sensing frame corresponding to a flicker period of ambient light, comprising: a pixel array, configured to perform N times of exposure operations via at least one pixel of the pixel array in N exposure time intervals to generate N sub-frames, wherein a summation of the N exposure time intervals equals to a sensing interval and the sensing interval is less than or identical to a first flicker period. The optical sensor adds the N sub-frames to generate a summing sub-frame. The sensing frame comprises the summing sub-frame. The adding operation can also be performed to digital signals generated from the sub-frames. The influences caused by the fluctuation of ambient light can be neutralized, since the frame or portion of the frame is sensed at least twice at different phases of a single flicked period. By this way, the conventional flicker issue can be improved.
